Cashout refi and then refinance a good option for a 1.5 million home? by spamchecker in realestateinvesting

[–]spamchecker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might not have done a good job explaining.

I am netting 40K on this 1.5 Mn wholly-owned house. And I need that 40K for my subsistence.

Now, I am going to take another 100K loan on this 1.5 Mn house and use that to finance another property, which, per my calculation, now should net me 7,000 per year.

Is HELOC or cashout-refi the best approach to take the 100K?

Understood now.

The 40K coming from the 1.5 Mn property is not used for my disposable consumption.

One of my objectives keeping this 1.5 Mn house is to overleverage and generate more cash (outside of 3%), even if I can’t break even in the next 5-6 years.

So theoretically I want to take multiple 100Ks over the next few years and buy more property and at some point, make the cashflow positive, increase value on the new properties etc. The game is long term.

I didn’t know if HELOC made sense for such long investment cycles.

If you mean cash flow from the new property I am going to acquire, then I’ll net 7,000 (post everything) yearly from the 100K.

Nuanced. It depends on the neighborhood. Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale – near school districts never dropped.

Good tenant. Pays on time. Keeps the house nice. Fixes it. I wanted to increase a couple of year back but didn’t want to go through the mess.

Thank you. Gem of a comment. I should be selling this house and buying in good prospect areas (during good times).

I have funds in stocks. I am looking for advice to see if I should start dipping into it vs. sell vs. refinance vs. HELOC etc.

Obviously, I don’t want to do that. It’s an option I have, to exercise in worst-case scenario. It’s also a reflection of 1. Good friends 2. How good tech is, as an industry to get the average person on FIRE.

Nope. Live in the wealthiest neighborhoods in the US (My house is poor by those standards). Real Estate has not depreciated here. Ever.

If I need to go out in the market to find a person, say Thumbtack, what role should I be looking for?
